On the 22nd, Fuji TV ONE's "Professional baseball News 2025" focused on Nishikawa, who recorded multiple hit in four consecutive games as the leadoff hitter. Sakaguchi Tomotaka commented, "He's gained a lot of momentum since batting first. I think (opposing pitcher) would hate to see Nishikawa at the ready," and Nomura Hiroki also analyzed, "He's got some acrobatic hit, some skillful hit, and some long hits. For pitcher, there are a lot of things to be worried about when they start, so it's unpleasant to see him batting first."
